You shall overlay the frames with gold uses the same word for overlay in 25.11. (See the comment there.) And shall make their rings of gold is literally “and their rings you [singular] shall make gold.” For holders for the bars is literally “houses for the bars.” (The same expression is used in 25.27.) There may have been five rings on each frame to hold the five bars for each of the two sides and the far end.

And you shall overlay the bars with gold uses the same words as in the first clause. An alternative model reordering the clauses is the following: “Cover the frames and the crossbars with gold and attach gold rings to the frames to hold the crossbars.”
